FIELD
Judy and Chloe sat amongst the other students in the filed bench while they watch Pearl get ready for the three legged race.
“Why is Pearl the only one with out a partner?” Chloe asked
“That’s because she’s waiting for David ” Judy replied.
“Did David pick her?” Chloe asked again.
“He didn’t directly but you know how much of a flirt he is, he already brought her hopes up that am sure she won’t want to do the three legged race with any one else but him” Judy replied and just then David joined the participant but he wasn’t alone cause he had a girl from their team with him.
“Who is she?” Chloe asked.
“The girl David is currently dating” Judy replied sighing out slowly.
“If you knew about him dating some one else, you could have prevented this” Chloe said to Judy.
“I just found out this morning and I didn’t want to shatter her hopes by being the one who tells her about it, she needs to see it herself to believe” Judy replied while Chloe nodded sadly.
“But David is a jerk!”
“Not David alone, Luke, Bryan and Lucas are all jerks!” Judy muttered in anger.
“We better go meet her” Chloe added when they saw Pearl heading to the rest room.
They found her crying her eyes out in one of the cubicle.
After much persuasion, she finally came out moving to the tap to wash her face.
“You shouldn’t let David get you down” Chloe said tapping her back gently.
“But it hurts. I thought he’s begining to fancy me but then he already has a girlfriend and she turns out to be one of the junior students” Pearl replied wiping the remnant of tears on her face.
“David is a playboy, he won’t ever be serious with anyone. You should have put that in mind before falling for him” Judy admonish.
“If I had control over my heart then I wouldn’t be in love with him. You can’t tell your heart who to love Judy” she said holding back her tears.
“It’s okay. You should try to cheer up, don’t let him see how much you hurt” Chloe told her still patting her back.
Just then they heard the intercom buzz on the next race taking up.
“I think they are calling for me” Judy replied and Pearl wipe her eyes and putting on the face cap she brought, they all left the rest room.

While Judy went to join the people participating in the 100m race. Pearl and Chloe found it hard to find a spot to seat and when they did, it was beside Bryan and Luke.
She has hardly spoken to him ever since that incident at Valerie’s home and he seem to ignore her too which got her feeling down some times but it will all change when she ends up winning the marathon.
“The three legged race, did we win?” She asked striking a conversation with him but he ignored her while Luke replied.
“Of course! David might be useless in all things but he knows what he is doing when it comes to that game”
Chloe gave him a nervous smile in return before watching Judy’s game.
The whistle was blown and the participants began to run.
“Hope she wins” Luke said out in anticipation.
Every one was focused on the game apart from Chloe who kept starring at Bryan.
Why is he ignoring me? She thought as she heard every one scream out in excitement cause Judy won the female race for their team.
“Don’t underestimate Judy” Pearl said directing it to Luke who shrugged in return.
While every one began to disperse for the next location of the game, Chloe took hold of Bryan hand when he stood up to leave.
“I heard you will be joining in on the basket ball match, just want to wish you luck” she said slowly.
“Thanks” was the only reply he gave before walking off.

EMPTY CLASS
“How do I look?” Judy who was now sheathe in a blue lovely gown and whose face is accentuated with make up, giving her a dazzling look asked her friends who were all quiet.
“Is it that bad?” Judy asked pulling up the long folds of the gown.
“Bad? Definitely not! You look enchanting” Pearl gushed out in excitement.
“I never knew you had a lovely skin and that’s all thanks to your baggy shirts and trousers” Mira who had come to help with Judy’s contest commented.
“You look…… You will surely win today’s game” Chloe let out gawking at her friend.
“You really think so?” Judy asked still unsure while the make up artist Judy had called over kept fussing over her hair.
“Of course, you will” Chloe replied giving her a thumbs up.

SCHOOL HALL
“Am sure she’s gonna make us lose, you should have chosen a pretty girl ” Luke complained.
“Just give her a break, she might make our jaw drop like she said” David replied while Bryan and Lucas kept shut.
The Emcee arrived and for a while he talked about the two team and when that was over, he called out team Diamond queen who turned out to be Stephanie.
Stephanie stride out in a figure hugging red gown which made her look sexy and earned her a lot of attention from the guys.
She searched around the whole place for Leo but there was no sign of him and though that got her a bit angry, it didn’t stop her from smiling and waving to her team members.
And when team Alpha was finally called, Judy silently said a prayer before strolling outside in her enchanting blue dress.
She had only agreed to do this contest to shut Luke’s mouth but being the centre of attraction got her feeling nervous.
She slowly made her way to the podium while waving at her team members who were all gawking at her.
Did her friends lie to her? Isn’t she beautiful enough? She thought.
“You are freaking beautiful!” A students from the other team yelled out startling Judy.
“You are beautiful!” Her team mates began to scream out and she could tell that they weren’t lying due to the admiring gaze they sent her way.
“What have you got to say?” David asked Luke whose jaw was open just at seeing Judy’s transformation.
“You might as well close that for him” Lucas said to David who help Luke close his mouth startling him back to reality since he had been lost starring at Judy.

“Who is that beauty?” Wilfred asked Jessica and Marianna who were beside him.
“Dummy! Don’t you know Stephanie” Mariana chided.
“Am not talking about Stephanie but the angel beside her” Wilfred replied starring at Judy.
“That’s Valerie’s tom boy friend. Don’t tell me that you are also enchanted by her ugliness” Jessica retort but Wilfred was hardly paying them attention since his gaze is solely on Judy who kept waving at her team mate.
“Since the vote on who is the prettiest amongst these two damsels is a tie. We will be playing a game and I will be needing a guy from each team ” The Emcee said just as a lot of guys began raising their hand up just to be paired with Judy and Stephanie.
Wilfred was chosen for the Diamond team though he would have love to be Judy’s partner, he thought as he kept starring at Judy.
“Do I have the chance to pick some one to be my partner?” Judy asked the Emcee who gave her the go sign.
She let her gaze roam for a bit and when it landed on Luke, she pointed at him.
“Me?” Luke let out incredulously while she nodded in reply.
“You’ve been chosen, so come on the podium” the Emcee said to Luke who went to join them.
“This is what is required of the two teams. Both men are required to carry this two damsels in their arms for some minutes and whoever drops them before the limited time loses the game” the Emcee said.
“That’s easy peasy” Wilfred said lifting Stephanie into his arms.
“You are dead if you drop me” Stephanie warned him.
Luke slowly lifted Judy into his arms while she wrapa her arms around him, moving close to him while giving him a cocky grin.
“What are you up to now?” He asked.
“What do you mean?” She asked with sweet innocence.
“Why did you choose me amongst the other guys?” Luke asked.
“For me to see how much you regret the things you’ve said to me” Judy replied triumphantly.
“Tch!”
“Don’t you have anything to say seeing me dressed this way?” She asked when he said nothing.
“What do you want me to say?” Luke asked.
“That you admit defeat and that am a swan” She said while moving close to him.
Luke was lost for words cause having her this close to him was making him feel weird.
She might not notice but he’s very much aware of her b**bs being pressed on his hard chest even as she wrap her arms around him.
“Stop holding me tight or am going to drop you down” he threatened which got her losing her hold on his neck.
“So you won’t admit defeat right?” She asked pouting at him, some thing which made her look more pretty.
“Now let’s make the game more exciting, The guys should lift one leg up while the two damsels hold onto these books” the Emcee said while some books were brought by two students who gave Judy and Stephanie three set of books each and they were all heavy.
“If you can’t do it, just give up” Judy said to Luke.
“Shut up!” He mouth at her while she smiled at him in return.
She was still smiling when she saw Wilfred starring at her.
Wilfred who wasn’t listening to Stephanie ramblings saw Judy smiling at him and that made his arms go weak.
He let go of Stephanie who landed on the floor with a thump making Judy and Luke the winner of the game.
“You imbecile! Are you crazy!” Stephanie yelled at him even as she stood up.
“I think I am crazy” Wilfred replied touching his chest even as he kept watching Judy who was happy at the moment for winning.

BASKET BALL COURT
“It’s time to see what those nymphs can do” Judy muttered still dressed in her queen’s outfit and that earned her looks from admirers.
“Hey! Bryan is some one who has never failed in basket ball” Mira said defensively.
“But he’s going to be playing against Leo who taught him how to play, let’s see if he will be able to beat his teacher” Judy said and that spike up Chloe’s attention.
“What do you mean by Leo taught him ?” She asked.
“Before their mysterious fight a year ago, the two were best of friends. Rumour has it that Bryan always followed Leo around wanting to do every thing Leo did but their fight ended it” Judy replied.
“Bryan who have always look up to Leo now hates him and the same goes for Leo” Pearl added.
“It’s gonna be hard playing against Leo. Bryan once thought of him as his idol” Mira said which got Chloe wondering if Mira and Bryan had been close in the past for her to say such personal thing.
The players came in dressed in their respective uniforms and Chloe wouldn’t deny that the white head band on his fore head and in his sport gear, Bryan looked so handsome.
Chloe gaze was on Bryan that she didn’t notice Leo starring at her.
The refree blew the whistle and the game began.
Team Alpha scored thrice in a row making their team scream out in joy.
Even though Luke focus was on the game, he couldn’t resist starring at Judy and the same goes for Wilfred.
While Pearl and Chloe kept watching David and Bryan.
The game turned over when Team Diamond began winning with Leo scoring most of the balls.
Bryan and his team could hardly keep up with Leo’s team and when the time was up. Leo’s team ended up winning.
Wilfred who was excited blew a kiss directly at Judy.
“Is it me or did Wilfred just blew me a kiss?” Judy asked her friends.
“Wilfred hates us just as much as we do to him and so you must be imagining it” Pearl replied while Judy nodded in return.

MEN’S LOCKER ROOM
Bryan left the locker room only for him to stop when a cold cola and a wrapped up doughnut was thrust in front of him.
“What’s this?” He asked starring at Chloe who brought it.
“Just wanted to brighten up your mood” Chloe replied still stretching it at him.
“You are only dampening it” he said trying to walk past her but she followed suit.
“Losing isn’t every thing. Some times you lose for a reason and also win for a reason ” Chloe said.
“Just as you will be losing today right?”he asked.
“Uh?”
“You might try to show to every one that you are doing fine but I know you aren’t. Your injury isn’t healed enough but still you will participate in the marathon right?” He asked and she nodded.
“The marathon isn’t a joke, running for an hour won’t help that foot, it will only worsen it. Do you want to become a cripple?” He asked again.
“Then what do you want me to do? Will you stay quiet if I decide not to participate and besides every one is counting on me,I can’t back out now” she replied hotly.
“Fine then, do whatever you want. I won’t care anymore ” he said turning to leave.
“I will definitely win the Marathon, I will win and prove you wrong!” She yelled after him and moving to the nearest bin, she threw the doughnut and Cola into It before leaving for the next game which is the marathon.
